Best Answer

The power load of a fire alarm will depend upon how many components are connected. A single smoke alarm may be a very small load on the AC power. However, a more sophisticated alarm panel with multiple sensors and annunciators (horns, strobes) and fire-alarm release systems (panic hardware release, fire doors, extinguisher systems) may require a lot of power.

As a general rule, any alarm and function required by the fire code is also required to have a backup power source, whether from a battery or a motor-generator set.

Why you use ELR?

An ELR is terminology used in fire alarm systems. It stands for End of Line Resistor. It is used as a load on individual fire alarm circuits. This load draws a small current that is monitored by the alarm panel. What the panel is monitoring for is open circuits in break glass and bell circuits. If the current is non existent then it means that one of the fire circuits is opened, out of service and non operational. In the alarm panel a relay is de-energized and a trouble alarm is activated to bring attention to the problem. Once the problem is repaired the current again flows through the ELR and the trouble relay resets.
